Mllllnr Potatoes vor.us nat Culture.


Killing potatoes has been practiced from
time out of date, and represents today
the most popular mode Of culture for the
tubers. In the face Of this widespread
practice, however, some Of our most trust
worthy and careful experimenters claim
that fat culture, under ordinary eondi-
tionS, gives tho best results. Prominent
among the advocates Of fat culture, not
only for potatoes, but for corn, is Mr.. E,
S. Carmsn, editor of The Rural New
Yorker. In recent issue Of The Country
Gentleman is given the report Of thor
ough trial Of the hillinS and nat modes Of
culture, in which it is stated that fat cul-
ture gives from 10 to 20 per cent. more
than the hills. Among cultivators who
have corroborated the above opinion is
Mr.. T. L. Plstt, of Fairfield county, Conn,
who experiments annually on some 300
varieties, and who states in The Country
Gentleman that he finds the crop much
larger with fiat culture.
